Hip Hop Kundalini 8

Explore the relationship with ourSelves through Creative Expression. Understand the elements of Creation alongside the elements of Hip Hop to explore sensations of Kundalini Awakening. We use poetry, freestyle, movement, yoga and energy work as access points.

In this month's workshop, we Honor the WUmb. The WUmb is the space we access for creativity and expression.  It is the cypher we create to tell our stories within the workshop.  It is 360 degrees of self love and nurturing to birth the experiences that want to move through you.

This month we also honor the WU, a ten member rap group from Statton Island, NY who were masters of CoCreation.  We will be integrating them and their work throughout the workshop.

Sol is a Monk of the unconventional kind. Constantly writing always on the grind. Performing lasik, open eyes of the blind. Paving a path of the minds complexity. Awareness of self is the recipe. Sitting in my mind surrounded by my weaponry. Expressing love is my specialty.
